summarize

- She used a power usually associated with the dark side, the Psychic Detector, on Morgan Ellsbeth to extract vital information and find a star map pointing to Thrawn.
- Ahsoka himself suggested the use of heavier Jedi mind tricks, once seen as a force of the dark side, and raised concerns about the potential violence of controlling someone’s mind.
this Ahsoka The show just confirmed that Ahsoka Tano has been experimenting with the dark side, potentially casting her as a Gray Jedi.Ahsoka is “There are no Jedi,” After leaving the Jedi Order, she reiterated it over and over again Star Wars: The Clone Wars season five. After being falsely accused of treason, she became suspicious of the ways of the Order of the Phoenix and its relationship to the Republic, and never completed her apprenticeship. Yet during the reign of the Empire, Ahsoka fought diligently on the side of the Rebels, defeated the Inquisitor, kept Force-sensitive children safe, and gathered vital intel – all of which the Jedi would no doubt be involved in. .
Over the years, however, Ahsoka has learned to do things her own way. In that respect, she’s very similar to her old master, Anakin Skywalker, who often ignored the advice of the Jedi Council, and even Obi-Wan Kenobi, to pursue what he saw fit. More often than not, Anakin’s reckless instincts proved correct, especially during the Clone Wars, when he was training Ahsoka.While it’s clear that Anakin had an influence on Ahsoka when they were still an official mentor-student duo, AhsokaThe show’s premiere episode reveals that this may be truer than anyone imagined.
Ahsoka using the Dark Side Psychic Probe on Morgan
After Ahsoka recovers a star map from an abandoned temple, she discusses her discovery with the Jedi Order’s ancient droid Hu Yang. Ahsoka explained that she found the map following Mrs. Morgan Elsbeth’s instructions. Hu Yang asked Ahsoka how to persuade Morgan to reveal such important information, Ahsoka replied: “Let’s just say I didn’t follow standard Jedi protocols.” Ahsoka says this with a hint of a smile, but the underlying message is clear. She must have used the Force, and for someone as resistant as Dathomir Nightsister Morgan Elsbeth, it must have been a massive use of power – maybe even dark side powers like Psychic detector.
exist star wars In canon, the Psychic Probe is often associated with the dark side, as it affects the mind of the targeted target. It’s incredibly invasive, even painful, and if used incorrectly or with too much force, can mess someone’s mind beyond repair. But logically, there’s no denying its usefulness, as Ahsoka demonstrates by finding the star map.But it’s a slippery slope – Psychic Detectors are often seen as an extension of the Jedi’s psychic tricks, as evidenced in the comic series The Rise of Kylo Ren In the book by Charles Soule, it is stated that Ben Solo was able to teach himself mind detection because of his previous experience with mind tricks.
Even Jedi mind tricks are often seen as dark side forces
Jedi mind tricks could easily be dismissed as dark side forces. Like Psychic Detectors, the Jedi version still invades a person’s mind and forces them into submission, stripping them of their free will. A Jedi wouldn’t use it out of spite, but it’s very easy to cross the line. During the height of the Republic, many Jedi Knights avoided using psychic tricks because they felt it might lead someone down a dangerous path. Their fears came true during the Clone Wars, as the Jedi sometimes used more powerful mind tricks to interrogate prisoners.Interestingly, in a particular The Clone Wars In this scene, Ahsoka himself suggests a targeted use of the Force on the brain of bounty hunter Cad Bane.
The Clone Wars This scene clearly set a precedent for Ahsoka. She worries about abducted children and sees joint force interrogation as a way to get to the truth sooner.Likewise, in Ahsoka, she worries about Thrawn’s return and the inevitability of another war. It’s understandable that she would use every tool at her disposal to stop this from happening, even something as powerful and nefarious as a dark side psychic detector.ahsoka may be “No Jedi”but she needs to be careful as she advances Ahsoka – Controlling someone’s mind can be an extremely violent act.
